never bargained away his home. He has
lived in Colorado, and has considerable
wealth in horses and cattle. II know Of nc
depredations that he has committed. On
one ortwo occasions men of his band have
been killed by whites. The people of Col.
orado since the rest Of the Utes moved have
been trying to get rid of Colorow, but he
has obstinately refused to 60. He looks
upon the country as his. The whites object.
This part of Colorado is not wealthy; they
need money. Troops bring money; they
want troops Two motive exist therefore
for the whites to make trouble-to be rid OF
Colorow and to get troops into their hostil-
ity to Indians induced the sheriff to procure
! indictments for breaking game laws. The
spark was applied, and the state broke out
IN flame, which now seems TO- have about
burned out. The horse thief story is cir

A special from Key West. Fla, says:
Advices received here state that the
greatest excitement prevails in Havana,
occasioned by the recent acts of Capt Gen.
Marin in taking possession Of the custom
house and placing the officials under arrest.
The city is in charge of regular troops and
the situation becomes daily more desperate,
recalling events attending the massacre of
medical students in 1871. A reign of terror
prevails, and it is expected that Havana
will be declared in a state of siege. Already
several conflicts have occurred between the
troops and civilians, resulting in the killing
OF some and the Wounding of others. Marin
has called on the volunteer regiments,
which are hostile to him, to disband and
disarm, or be held responsible for what may
occur. The custom house, postoffice and
all the public buildings are guarded. All
confidence appears to be gone. Even the
cable officials are suspected and military
are placed in charge of telegraph Offices to
prevent dispatches being sent of what is
TRANSPORTING. All the important dispatches
between the officials in Havana and the
authorities in Madrid are brought here by
special messenger for transmission. The re-
plies are also sent to this office. sThose &C
quainted with Gen. Marin state that he will
carry out his policy of purifying the public
service regardless of consequences, and al
ready feeling of uneasiness permeates
every branch thereof. Alexander Gonzales
Alvarez, acknowledgement of customs of
the island of Cuba, has resigned and sailed
Tor Spain.

condemned anarchists are to hang. There

many words, but when asked about the
case, Justice Magruder guardedly said
''There will be no dissenting opinion, be-
of Police Ebersold and Sheriff Matson have
already received an intimation of what is
coming, and they have been making
active preparations to meet any emergency
that may arise. That Sheriff Matson has
also received a direct intimation Of the &C
- g. 49,
ordinary precautions he has been taking
lately in keeping suspicious persons out OF
the jail. Everybody who calls to see the
anarchists is closely watched while in the
jail, and not a few visitors are denied ad-
mission.
A deadly scourage is affecting Nc
Dowen County, West Virginia and South
